Marcel M. Popescu, Julia de León, George Pantelimon Prodan +16
The HyperScout-H (HS-H) instrument is one of the payloads aboard ESA's Hera spacecraft. Hera is a planetary defence mission that aims to provide a detailed characterization of the…
Activity of the Jupiter co-orbital comet P/2019~LD (ATLAS) observed with OSIRIS at the 10.4 m GTC
J. Licandro, J. de Leon, F. Moreno +8
Jupiter co-orbital comets have orbits that are not long-term stable. They may experience flybys with Jupiter close enough to trigger tidal disruptions like the one suffered by come…
Visible and near-infrared observations of interstellar comet 2I/Borisov with the 10.4-m GTC and the 3.6-m TNG telescopes
J. de León, J. Licandro, C. de la Fuente Marcos +15
In this work, we present the results of an observational study of 2I/Borisov carried out with the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) and the 3.6-m Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (…
Visible Analysis of NASA Lucy Mission Targets Eurybates, Polymele, Orus and Donaldjohanson
A. C. Souza-Feliciano, M. De Prá, N. Pinilla-Alonso +7
Jupiter Trojan asteroids are minor bodies that share Jupiter's orbit around the Sun. Although not yet well understood in origin and composition, they have surface properties that,…
Spectral clustering tools applied to Ceres in preparation for OSIRIS-REx color imaging of asteroid (101955) Bennu
Juan Luis Rizos, Julia de León, Javier Licandro +6
The OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample-return mission is investigating primitive near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu. Thousands of images will be acquired by the MapCam instrument onboard t…
Taxonomic classification of asteroids based on MOVIS near-infrared colors
M. Popescu, J. Licandro, J. M. Carvano +5
We aim to provide a taxonomic classification for asteroids observed by VISTA-VHS survey. We derive a method for assigning a compositional type to an object based on its (Y-J), (J-K…
